4 Reasons to FASTING! What is fasting? How to fast? Why should we fast? Is intermittent fasting good?
Notes:
Food is good, a gift from God! (1 Cor.8:8; 1 Tim. 4:4). Fasting should be a habit of praying and giving. Fasting is a normal part of being human. Jesus said, “when”, not “if” we fast. He modeled it and expected His followers to do the same. Fasting afflicts the soul Leviticus 16:29-31
Purpose of Fasting:
1. Calamities of life Ezra for finances and protection (Ezra 8:21). Fasting is a Biblical way to humble yourself (Psalm 35:13; 69:10).
2. Connecting with God Jesus said they will fast when I am gone (Mark 2:20).
3. Calling of God. Most of the people in the OT fasted in crisis, Jesus fasted for His calling.
4. Conquering of the devil (1 Samuel 7:6; 2 Samuel 1:12; 2 Chronicles 20:3; Matthew 17:21; Isaiah 58:6)
How to Fast:
1. Make it a habit
2. Take it slow
3. Drink water
4. Feed your spirit (u can’t control what you feel, control what you feed)
5. Try different types of fast (full, partial)
6. How you enter and end your fast matters
7. Consult your doctor
